Entirely circumstantial. Like you said, you have to guess it.

Already established it takes forever. And leaves the whole team hanging to get fucked while we're waiting for you to make your super-tank and hope to Christ it doesn't get ganged up on in the meantime.

4: Rock Slide hits two foes, thus Renny gains more rage just a bit faster, thus fueling his support skills.

Thus, it serves as an additional rage building tool and defensive wall at the same time while either serving as a mook damager, team support, or a Boss Nuke. (999 Attack with Testament Drive?)

You and your Rage.

No comment on Double Team? For shame. I mean, you had better not be thinking of spending three turns for Cosmic Power/Power Trick and then another two for Double Team.

I'd rather you didn't. For one, I thought Renny was supposed to love all his pokemon equally, yet it seems like Mollesk gets all the cool stuff.

If we had Mirror as our engineer, she could probably nuke them due to the dark evolith having Punishment which gets stronger when foes get a buff. A Supreme Restore gives 15 stages worth of buffs, 3 for each primary buff stat, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack and Defense. Punishment would have had a power of 360 in that case! If a dark pokemon (preferably one with high attack stat) used it, adding STAB would make it a devasting force, and that's before anything else like weakness or Helping Hand.

Meh, we could've taken 'em anyway.

Do both. I dunno the items Renny's carrying, but have Rachel use Full Restores on Impact and Matthias, and Renny can use a Full Restore on Mollesk and spread a Max Revive for the whole team.

Or just let Mollesk die. I'm okay with that too.

And don't think you can keep ignoring my accusations that you're only making Renny a Pokebrid for an excuse to get into Lola's pants.
